Plot:
On March 17, 994 A.D., The Leprechaun is a thousand years old and he can choose any woman to be his bride. He picks a young girl of the O’Day family. The Leprechaun captures, tortures and tells O’Day that he will marry his descendant in a thousand years time on St Patrick’s Day, before he kills him.
One thousand years later, St. Patrick’s Day 1994, in modern-day Los Angeles, the Leprechaun has found a petulant sixteen-year-old girl named Bridget Callum, a descendant of the O’Day bloodline…
Reviews:
“Leprechaun 2 is a movie that’s fun for the moment, but it’s not the best kind of sequel there is. There’s nothing particular memorable about any part of it – the characters, the kills, the plot. It’s not hard to see why Leprechaun 2 was the last movie of the series to be released theatrically.” The Girl Who Loves Horror
“With aspects of the first film’s plot included but shoved to the background, a city setting with random plot points, and questionable choices of tone, Leprechaun 2 is an unnecessary and downright unenjoyable viewing experience.” Evan Slead, Bloody Good Horror
“The rest of the film is pure gold (pardon the pun), with such wacky situations being played out as a drinking competition between the leprechaun and Uncle Morty, and Morty’s greediness getting the best of him, winding up with a pot of gold in his stomach.” Allen Gaynor, Interrobang
“The nasty makeup and the ridiculous fake Irish legends are the same, the sadistic sexual angle is new and unneeded.” Mike Mayo, Videohound’s Horror Show
“In the same vile vein as its predecessor…” John Stanley, Creature Features
